That's because those with passion don't value their labor, nor the labor of their peers. Entirely a self-inflicted wound.

Or they got a lot more supply of applicants than demand.

You think this disproves my point how? If 99/100 applicants demand $100/hr, and 1 accepts $50/hr, guess what happens to wages. Go ahead, think about it.

Your point was people with passion dont value their labor but your example still had 100 applicants to 1 position… You seem to be agreeing to mine

One person gets a job, and the other 99 get to try again, or reevaluate what they assume is the market value of that position?

Yeah, and the bigger the applicant pool, the more likely you are to find applicants willing to work for less. Go ahead, think about it...

Bro everyone in this thread but you seems to have a grasp of this lol. But sure, why just be wrong when you can be wrong AND condescending

It's a supply and demand issue... its not because the people who apply for cool jobs are so passionate that they don't care about money.

So you think if the $50 engineer demanded $100 with the rest, no hire would be made. That the company would walk away and say "no, we don't need this after all." That is your understanding, yes?
